Where Old Becomes New

Paint Pen DIY Wall Art

This was really easy if you have a talent for sketching or recreating your favorite picture silhouette syle. I found a wildflower photo on the Internet, drew it with a pencil then went over my sketch with a black paint pen on a 24″x24″ piece of wood I purchased at Home Depot.

My favorite grey wood stain was added and a wood border painted black and tacked on with nails and wood glue. The grain of the wood is highlighted beautifully when a light stain is applied to natural wood.

I also found an adorable Paris painting on the Pottery Barn website and created my own version. The two red umbrellas were added with paint and I painted the edges black to give it a finished look.
